Dome Of The Rock Interior
Dome Of The Rock Interior. The structure is situated on a flat elevated plaza known to Muslims as al-Ḥaram al-Sharīf ("The Noble Sanctuary") and to Jews as the Temple Mount (the site where the Temple of Jerusalem once stood). On the one hand, the monument carries a unique and unifying significance for Islamic.
Four doors facing the cardinal points lead to the interior. There are two concentric rings of columns and piers supporting the roof, leaving corridors, or aisles, between; the outer thirteen feet wide, the inner thirty. The two engineers Yazid ibn Salam from Jerusalem and Raja' ibn Hayweh, from Baysan, were.
Umayyad Caliph Abd al-Malik ibn Marwan, who initiated construction of the Dome, hoped that it would "house the Muslims from cold and heat," and intended the building to serve as a shrine for pilgrims and not as a mosque for public worship.
The Dome of the Rock in Jerusalem, Israel is recognized as one of the earliest works and a masterpiece of Islamic architecture..
Great video footage that you won't find anywhere else. The interior walls, surrounding the rock of Isra, are richly decorated with mosaic and intricate geometrical shapes and patterns. Free for commercial use, no attribution required.
